Research On Knowledge Communication Based On Social Software

The advent of Web2.0has raised new requirements for knowledge transfer. The existing knowledge transfer channel cannot meet the requirements of booming knowledge amount. Meanwhile, social software has gained famous for its characteristic of openness, network and system, which is well accepted in the realm of network knowledge transfer. These years, the content of social software are enriching and the functions are becoming more and more powerful. The position of it in knowledge transfer has becoming irreplaceable. For academy, social software theories about knowledge transfer gradually attract scholars’eyes, and have harvested some fruits.This paper aims at that by concluding thoroughly the theories regarding to social software, knowledge transfer and the combination of both, a new research perspective can be found so as to provide much better theory support for the integration between social software and knowledge transfer theories. Firstly, this paper discovers the basic concept and meaning of knowledge transfer and social software, and states specific categories for each other. Then, by considering the relationship between social software and knowledge transfer, this paper puts up with an over-all framework knowledge transfer model for social software. In the following section, from the view of functions of social software, the implementation steps of knowledge transfer for social software are illustrated by explaining the three stages of relationship forming, social network forming and knowledge transfer occurring. At last, this paper discusses the detailed influences impacted by social software upon knowledge transfer, and puts up with some policies to prompt knowledge transfer by using social software.The characteristic of this paper is that the research topic is chosen by following the frontier of this area closely, which can also help to show guides to knowledge transfer theory. Besides, there are some creative points in this paper. A thorough analysis of the relationship between social software and knowledge transfer has been shown deep. Based on this kind of relationship, a knowledge transfer model based on social software is constructed. And this paper describes the knowledge transfer stages based on social software at large. Also, this paper gives the detailed influences by social software imposing upon explicit and tacit knowledge transfer.
